Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater
Voted the most important building of the 20th century in a poll conducted by the American Institute of Architects, this masterpiece was entrusted to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy by Edgar Kaufmann jr. in October 1963. Fallingwater was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in July 2019. Open to the public for house tours, Fallingwater is the only remaining Frank Lloyd Wright house with its setting, original furnishings and artwork intact.
Fallingwater offers a one-hour Guided Architectural tour (includes the main floor of the house, the terraces and the guest house), specialty tours and private guided or self-guided exterior tours. Specialty tours include a two-hour in-depth tour, collections tour, brunch tour and sunset tour. Tours are offered daily 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. except Wednesdays, mid March through Thanksgiving weekend. Fallingwater is open on Saturdays and Sundays in December, the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, weather permitting. Self-guided exterior Winter Walks are available daily beginning Nov. 30.
Advance ticket purchase is essential for all tours. During periods of high visitation exact tour times cannot be guaranteed.
